Currently I am using a Broadcom 54g MaxPerformance
802.11g wireless interface. It is built into the laptop
so yes it came with the laptop. I have the same problem
with the National Semiconductor Corp. DP 83815/816 10/100
Lan card. This also came with the Laptop and is
integrated. Since the problem is with both cards, I
don't think it is a problem (drivers) with the NICs but
maybe some settings in windows.

By the way, thank you for quick responses.
